RTE Operation Transformation – Ireland Lights Up Walk. Don’t worry if you missed
any of the first 4 Thursday nights, sure come and join us between 7pm and 9pm if

evenings in a safe and well-lit area to go for a walk in the evenings.
This is the 5 th of 8 weekly walks which will happen every Thursday to early March.
Scotstown GAA Health and Well-being has joined up with Ireland Lights Up 2020 in
partnership with RTE Operation Transformation and are encouraging everyone
young and old, especially families, to get Ireland walking at Kilmore 7 o clock for
eight weeks every Thursday. Please promote and encourage players and parents
and grandparents or anyone you know to get involved.
It would be great to maintain the consistent big turnout as this would encourage
others to join in and see that Scotstown GAA is not just all about football but also the
community. Thanks to everyone involved from the organisers to the admin people of
counting numbers, the car parking stewards who always keep a perfect free flowing
of traffic in any condition and the people who joined in on the track. Well done
everyone!
